2024 ADVANCED FETAL
MONITORING EXAM WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
Characteristics of Supraventricular dysrhythmic patterns? - CORRECT-
ANSWERS- Often referred to as "premature beat" patterns
- Typically considered benign requiring no intervention other than
observation
- Tend to disappear in late labor, particularly during contractions, during
variable decelerations, or soon after birth
- Usually not associated with any underlying cardiac disease
- These supraventricular dysrhythmia patterns can be combined with
bigeminy, trigeminy, or a combination of both
Which occur more commonly, ventricular or Supraventricular dysrhythmic
patterns? - CORRECT-ANSWERSSupraventricular
Do Supraventricular dysrhythmic patterns show actual changes on a fetal
ECG? - CORRECT-ANSWERSYes
What are examples of Supraventricular Dysrhythmias (SVD)? - CORRECT-
ANSWERS- Premature atrial contraction (PAC)
- Premature atrial contraction (PAC) with
bigeminy
- Premature atrial contraction (PAC) with trigeminy
- Supraventricular tachycardia
- Atrial flutter
Moderate variability says what is being oxygenated well? - CORRECT-
ANSWERSThe brain
What is atrial bigeminy? - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Occurs when there is a
premature atrial depolarization (contraction) every other beat
- Monitor tracing gives the appearance of 2 horizontal lines
What is atrial trigeminy? - CORRECT-ANSWERS- Occurs when every third
beat is a premature atrial depolarization
- The tracing will show vertical spikes with long upward strokes and short
downward strokes
